PoisonGames Inc. is a Japanese game company, and MechNest, a 3D bullet-hell shooter that director Chama (Takumi Kagawa) has been developing for a year and a half before it was founded, will begin Early Access on Steam on October 23, 2021.
What is MechNest?
MechNest is a TPS (third-person perspective) game that combines three elements: shooting, roguelike, and hack-and-slash. It's a rare case of an almost amateur developer creating a full-fledged 3D game by himself, and it's creating a lot of buzz in Japan and abroad.

Play Contents
The player selects a weapon and ability (skill) and moves to the stage. The player's starting point and the enemies that appear are randomly placed each time. While defeating enemies, the player collects reinforcement items and kills enemies with flashy shots. There are three levels of difficulty. There are three difficulty levels: EASY, where the game is cleared when the boss is defeated; NORMAL and HARD, where the boss appears endlessly and the battle ends when you run out of energy. Skills and appearance customization elements gained by defeating bosses can be carried over to the next playthrough.
Except for the HARD mode, the game is basically designed to be exhilarating rather than tense. Whether you want to wipe out your enemies or sweat it out with strong opponents, this is a game that can be enjoyed by both.
There are no story elements or online play (competitive or cooperative) in Mech Nest.
Supported platforms
PC game (Steam) *Nintendo Switch version is under consideration.
